    Can you drive your Tesla in the rain?

    I recently found a good deal for a 2022 Used Model X Plaid. However, the original owner is located in Florida and my wife is very apprehensive about buying a car from Florida due to salt water damage. My wife grew up in Florida and has put her foot down for me not to proceed with this purchase...

    Model X Plaid 2022 vs 2023

    In the same boat here. Thinking about buying a Used Model X Plaid 2022 with updated lights and tilt screen etc. But wondering if 82k is a good price for one with 7k miles on.

    Market value for Plaid

    You were right. The new estimate is now $44,000 total and the current value of my 2021 Plaid with 62,000 miles on it is simply garbage. I am getting appraisal amounts of between $53k-62k. GAP insurance is my friend here. I am talking with State Farm to see if they declare the vehicle a total...

    Market value for Plaid

    Yeah, I'm waiting on the body shop to provide their estimate. I don't think State Farm will do the same what they did for you over the phone call especially when Plaid is a very expensive car and the state's regulation of having at least 75% damage means my car has to need at least 60k worth of...

    Market value for Plaid

    I am having it done at a Tesla authorized shop in the area. (Oxmoor Collision Repair Center - Louisville KY). This is one of the two certified places here. I contacted the repair shop and told them I am not authorizing the repair until I get the full extent of damages as I did not see a lot of...

    Market value for Plaid

    I wish you're right. So far I am not seeing them salvage the car in any way, shape or form. They did mention the cost might be more due to more parts that need to be supplemented but no mention of total loss yet. I am upset that it is taking them this long. They are wanting me to sign the...

    Market value for Plaid

    I wish you and @TLLMRRJ are correct. However, I do not have a way to sign the paperwork that only gives them the permission to only tear down the car instead of repairing it. The repair shop has sent me paperwork asking permission to start the "repair" and the insurance company has already...

    Market value for Plaid

    You are correct. I guess I am stuck with it because Kentucky and State Farm suck big time!

    Market value for Plaid

    You will not have to worry about a totaled car because let me tell you no insurance company will total a Plaid at least in these trying times. Teslas are very resilient cars and barely suffer damages in crashes. Not to mention, the whole air bag deployed, and the car must be totaled is complete...

    2016.5 P90D to 2022 Plaid Impressions

    Are you me? haha in the midst of all these extremely positive reviews, which honestly includes mine too, I am glad to know that I am not crazy. I moved from 2020 raven model S and I found its seats to be way more comfortable and the ride to be way more smoother than the Plaid. It's sort of...

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    Yeah, this is infuriating. I am chalking it up to Tesla wanting the ride to be stiffer for the car to do what it does. Honestly, it has been almost a year and this is my first Tesla that I do not want to sell immediately and that's only because of what the car is capable of at any and all...

    Show of hands… Adaptive Suspension

    I just found out this thread and let me say I'm pleasantly surprised to know that I'm not crazy. Mine is a September 2021 Plaid and I switched from a 2020 Raven S and the difference in ride quality has been insane from the moment I got in the Plaid. The ride is stiffer, changes in suspension...

    19" Wheels Secured + info on an OEM All Season Tire option.

    I loved Vredestein Quatrac on my 2020 Model S. I tried to get them for Plaid but was told they won't be a good choice and won't fit my car by a tire shop mechanic. Disappointed! If you get it to work, please share feedback on them. I wish they'd fit the Plaid staggered setup 😔

    2021.40.5.1 For refreshed Model S

    Got 2021.40.6 and can confirm there is no ARNR. Basically they had it enabled and figured it sucks and customers are better off without it. Doesn't sound like Tesla

    Anyone with Plaid experience city driving

    Have had the Plaid for over a month with 6100 miles on it. My car is running on 2021.36.5.1 and I assure you that Yoke and Turn Signals are not a problem at all. You get used to them within the first few hundred miles. After that it becomes second nature. I had a Model 3 for two years then a...
